Intro

In this episode in our Allocator’s Edge mini-series of the Value Perspective we’re joined by Ben Cossey, Managing Director for EMEA at Pinnacle. Pinnacle is an Australian listed Asset Manager, focused on seeding and building high-potential emerging investment managers. Ben has been with Pinnacle since 2018 and brings prior experience from firms like Stable Asset Management, UBS and LaSalle. He also serves as a Nonexecutive Director at Coolabah Capital and Antipodes Partners, with academic roots in experimental psychology and real estate finance. In this episode we explore the role versus seed framework and how it shapes the investment ecosystem; common pitfalls emerging investment managers face and how to avoid them; why contrarian thinking matters when backing the off-trend asset classes; the mindset of evergreen investors; and finally, the differences in building long-only strategies versus hedge funds. Enjoy!
